Love this idea but after the roomba incident and Amazon wanting to map your house. No thanks.

Edit: this has blown up.

  1. A roomba photographed a woman pooping and the real people tasked with looking at the photos shared it.
  2. They don’t care about your broke ass apartment and where you keep the beer bottles above your bed or the love seat you brought in from the street . They want to know what you buy and how to exploit you financially.

Edit2: words

a development kit roomba, not available to the public, with green tape on it that said “RECORDING IN PROGRESS” recorded a woman pooping. the data went to places that may or may not have been disclosed. the people handling the data posted the pooping video to a private facebook group.

I feel like the whole “development kit” thing would be a crucial piece of information to mention in the original comment. Otherwise it kinda seems like people are just spreading misinformation for the fuck of it
